Every Monday in a nearby village, our visitors are welcomed by the family of Alicia and Mariano to join them to learn how to bake traditional Mexican bread in an adobe and brick wood-fired oven.
The teachers are Alicia and Socorro, a mother-daughter team. Students knead dough and prepare small loaves of bread, bolillos, and pan dulces that are sold in Zincero. They also help prepare the weekly batch of Bosque bread - a whole wheat recipe made specially for us.
One of our most popular classes, bread baking class gives students the opportunity to experience an amazingly warm and sincere family and offers a glimpse of nearby village life. Every student has returned with a smile on their face and a stomach full of bread!
The class is 5 hours long with a break in the middle to enjoy traditional comida, a large mid-day meal, with the family.
The cost of the class is $150 pesos MXN per person, and includes lunch and lots of fresh bread. Cash is paid directly to the teachers.
The family also sells fresh cheese and local crafts.
